Civil War regiment plus giant ape-like aliens who eat humans equals one hell of a war!<BR/><BR/>Space Opera - Honor Harrington series by David Weber. Meets all the requirements of a good Space Opera (at least I'm pretty sure it does, having never found a list for that).<BR/><BR/>Steampunk - Diamond Age fits in nicely here.. at least portions of it do. <BR/><BR/>Heroic Fantasy - Anything and Everything by David Gemmell!<BR/><BR/>High Fantasy - Gotta go with the Belgariad here, still one of my favorites.<BR/><BR/>Urban Fantasy - I gotta go with Jim Butcher's Dresden Files on this one.. But I also have a soft spot for Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series.<BR/><BR/>Ok, I'm going to stop now before I name all my favorite books and throw them into random categories just to be able to gush about my favorite books. Speaking of which..<BR/><BR/>Hard Sci-Fi (at least I think it is) - Peter Watts' Blindsight<BR/><BR/>Dystopian-ish - Peter Watts' Rifters saga (at least read the first one, awesomely disturbing)LoopdiLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071128534047439266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-46509596036406793102007-11-16T14:30:00.000-05:002007-11-16T14:30:00.000-05:00His book "Snow Crash" is supposed to be really goo...His book "Snow Crash" is supposed to be really good...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571452656553970472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-10921951535947722852007-11-16T13:31:00.000-05:002007-11-16T13:31:00.000-05:00I enjoyed Neal Stephenson's, "The Diamond Age, Or ...I enjoyed Neal Stephenson's, "The Diamond Age, Or A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer" I'm not sure which sci fi category best fits, but it was a good read.cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.com
